Thank you Bikes and Brass! I’ve been in the off-road and camping scene for 20+ years, but I’m just now learning how to produce watch-worthy content for CZcams. I’m looking forward to putting out more videos like this one with increasing regularity in the coming months!
Man I’ve had 5 of these things sitting in their boxes from trailworthy for about 3 years now waiting to mount them dreading the project. I know it’s going to be a major PITA. Did you balance them at all? I was thinking about adding some beads when I put them together. If you didn’t balance how do they ride on the road without any weights?
Hey Sammy, it is a workout to put a whole set together at one time, but it’s doable. I put about 6 oz of airsoft bbs in each one of mine and didn’t seem to have any balance issues. I also had nearly new tires, so that might have helped.
Tarheel overland.......... im assuming you are in or around Fayetteville? I'm in Fay and am new to overlanding I just bought a great starter truck, k30 5/4 ton m1010 and am looking in to humvee rims and tires, would love to talk sometime
I’m a few hours away from Fayetteville. Humvee rims and tires are a great and relatively inexpensive way to get a 37” MT tire and beadlocks. Get the Baja tires rather than the old style OZ tires if you can find them. They would look great on that k30 platform.
Crow bar! Seriously. I put it in at a 90 degree angle to the tire, then use my foot to insert it so that it’s in the middle of the tire. After that, use a long crow bar to flip it into position inside the tire.
I lube all the edges with Murphys oil soap, the insert and the bead. lean the tire against the wall. After you slide the insert in at a 90 degree, a couple of good swift stomps and it falls right in. Takes only a few seconds with minimal effort, and it also aids halves going in. spray bottle of water if it dries out
One thing I would add is that those tires are direction, so need to pay attention to that during assembly. Great video!
How do you only have 9 subs? Great informative video- subbed!

@@TarheelOverland Sounds good, do you have a Humvee or do you just run those wheels on some other vehicle?
I ran them on my Ford Ranger - the truck in my Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway video.

How the hell did you get that insert in so easy!?!?
